"Of course, we do not want to see Saakashvili. We simply worry for him. I mean, we should better avoid any contact; that's for his own sake", - Rogozin is cited by GLAVRED.INFO.

He says Russian representatives won't take part in the meeting of those countries that supply NATO contingent to Afghanistan, where Mikheil Saakashvili may be present. "We have taken a critical decision never to foist ourselves with our soldiers on Afghanistan. The meeting in the NATO-Russia format will start afterwards, at 14.00, so there will be no occasional meeting between Medvedev and Saakashvili. By the way, we have warned everyone (me, at least) that we do not want to see some persons at our meeting and if we suddenly run into Mikheil Nikolayevitch, well, great God, that will be no fault of mine", - Rogozin underlined.

Let us remind you that NATO summit in Lisbon will be held on November 19-20.
